Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I've never heard of this Zhao Yunhai before. Just how amazing is he?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flame of pride in Lin Wanting's heart.

She stared wide-eyed in anger at He Yuzhu, speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Her small mouth was slightly open, but her throat seemed to be choked by something, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

He Yuzhu's face was full of innocence, his lips were slightly downturned, and his eyes were full of confusion, making him look completely ignorant.

As he pondered a solution, he continued:

"I've never heard of this person before. What level of master is Zhao Yunhai? Where did he come from? This place in Haojiang has never produced such a person before."

Lin Wanting took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, trying to suppress the raging anger burning within her.

Her originally fair face was slightly flushed with anger, and her high breasts rose and fell rapidly with her breathing, clearly indicating that her inner state was far from calm.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu was secretly delighted, thinking: Hey, I don't even need to say anything, Lin Wanting already knows how to cooperate with me.

At the same time, he fully enjoyed the wonderful friction that occurred when his body came into contact with Lin Wanting, feeling a tingling sensation all over his body, from his scalp to the soles of his feet.

This strange feeling made Lin Wanting realize something instantly. Her face turned bright red, as red as a ripe apple, as if it could drip blood.

She was both ashamed and angry. She stomped her little feet on the ground with a loud "thud" and shouted angrily:

"Telling you won't hurt! My master is on Luzon Island. He has already cultivated to the peak of the Transformation Realm and is a rare and unparalleled master in this world!"

"Peak of the Transcendent Realm? That's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's face instantly showed surprise. His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, as if he couldn't believe what Lin Wanting had said.

He knew very well what the peak of the Transformation Realm meant; it meant being at the very top of the martial arts pyramid, capable of overturning rivers and seas with a mere gesture.

Lin Wanting raised her head high, her chin slightly tilted back, and said coquettishly:

"Hmph, of course! Just one more step and I'll be able to reach the Core Formation Realm. Now you know what fear is, right?"

At this moment, she looked as if she had already stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, her eyes filled with pride and confidence, as if she were declaring her power to the whole world.

However, faced with such an arrogant threat, He Yuzhu simply smiled and responded calmly:

"Yes, I am quite scared. I'm really worried that he will come to my door and take my life."

Despite saying he was scared, there was no fear in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of mockery.

......

Upon seeing this, Lin Wanting's eyes widened in astonishment.

What's going on? We've already brought up the master's name, and this guy isn't reacting at all?

Logically speaking, the mere mention of Master Xu Changfeng's name should have terrified the other party, making their legs go weak and their pants wet.

After all, his master was a renowned veteran expert in internal energy cultivation, whose fame spread far and wide in the martial arts world.

Rumors in the martial arts world suggest that Master is very likely to break through to the Core Formation Realm within just two or three years and become a grandmaster.

Back then, at a martial arts tournament, Master defeated several renowned masters with just one move, and his fame spread far and wide.

Thinking about this, Lin Wanting felt even more incredulous. She originally thought that as long as she revealed her master's prestigious reputation, He Yuzhu would definitely release the person obediently, but reality was completely different from what she had imagined.

Lin Wanting knew in her heart that although she and her senior brother were not top experts in the martial arts world, they were not ordinary people either.

This operation encountered an unexpected mishap, which was truly due to a momentary lapse in judgment. However, as long as we invoke our master's name, escaping will not be difficult.

Her master was highly respected and renowned in the martial arts world, and many forces in the martial arts world held him in high esteem.

Many troubles can be easily resolved simply by mentioning the master's name.

But this He Yuzhu in front of me showed no fear of my master, and his words and actions were completely unreserved.

This made Lin Wanting suspicious. What was he relying on?

Is it a powerful background, or exceptional ability?

For a moment, she was deeply confused, constantly pondering He Yuzhu's origins.

Lin Wanting's confidence stemmed from her highly respected and skilled master.

My master is a genuine expert at the peak of the Transformation Realm, and has left behind countless legends in the martial arts world.

Back then, my master single-handedly stormed into the lair of a powerful enemy, as if entering an empty field.

Faced with the siege of a group of masters, the master remained calm and unleashed fierce moves, defeating the enemies in a rout.

That battle made my master's reputation spread throughout the martial arts world, becoming a myth that countless people could hardly reach.

From then on, whenever his master's name was mentioned, people in the martial arts world would show him great respect.

At this moment, He Yuzhu firmly grasped Lin Wanting.

But whenever she thought of her master, Lin Wanting felt a surge of power within her, and her senses became increasingly acute.

She knew how much her master valued her and her senior brother. If the two of them were to encounter danger, her master would surely find out immediately thanks to his extensive intelligence network throughout the martial arts world.

My master is always decisive and efficient; once he receives the news, he will definitely rush over without stopping.

When the master arrives, with his keen insight, He Yuzhu will have nowhere to hide.

At that time, Master will only need to make a casual move, relying on his unfathomable strength, to easily subdue He Yuzhu, and he and his senior brother will be able to escape smoothly.

This is the unwavering confidence in Lin Wanting's heart: as long as her master is still alive, there is no obstacle she cannot overcome.

Her eyes shone with stubbornness and expectation, firmly believing that her master would appear at the crucial moment and resolve the crisis.

However, to her surprise, when she confidently and expectantly announced her master's name, He Yuzhu stood before her like a towering mountain, unshaken and unmoved.

He stood upright, like a pine tree that has weathered storms, calm and composed without the slightest sign of panic.

He Yuzhu's lips curled slightly upward, forming a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown. His eyes, like deep, cold pools, seemed to see through everything in the world. With a hint of mockery, he asked in return:

"Should I tremble with fear at your name? It was clearly you two who were bewitched by greed and plotted to harm me first. Now, with both of you firmly in my hands as hostages, I have the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. What do I have to fear?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanting's originally bright eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief. She seemed unable to believe her ears, or perhaps she was trying to hear a different answer from He Yuzhu.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked again:

"Aren't you really worried that my master will come in person and, with his methods, arrest you and make you regret it for the rest of your life in prison?"

He Yuzhu remained unfazed, as if the fearsome master Lin Wanting had described was nothing more than an insignificant nobody in his eyes.

He slowly shook his head, his movements unhurried and deliberate, as if he found even the slightest effort troublesome. His tone was as firm as the clash of metal, his reply resounding and clear:

"Not afraid."

Faced with He Yuzhu, who was so unyielding and unyielding, Lin Wanting felt a surge of nameless anger rise from the bottom of her heart and instantly spread throughout her body. She was so angry that she couldn't help but tremble slightly. Her chest heaved violently, like a small boat swaying in a raging sea, as if it would be swallowed up by the raging sea at any moment.

Her usually charming face flushed crimson in an instant, as luscious and ripe as a ripe apple, yet also carrying a hint of anger, as if it could bleed.

"Stop it! I...I really can't take it anymore!"

She bit her lower lip so hard that her teeth almost dug into her delicate skin, and her voice carried a hint of uncontrollable sobbing. She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, and all her resentment and helplessness could only be expressed in this trembling cry.

Lin Wanting blushed deeply, her cheeks as if they had been intensely dyed red by the fiery sunset.

She lowered her head slightly, her hair falling down as she tried to hide her shy expression. Her eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to look He Yuzhu in the eye.

She said coquettishly, her voice trembling slightly, like a withered leaf on a branch in late autumn, shivering in the biting wind, as if she would lose all her strength at any moment and not even be able to stand up, her whole body swaying precariously.

"really?"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, his movements slow yet somewhat nonchalant, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips, the curve so subtle it was hard to decipher.

A playful glint flashed in his eyes, like a cunning star twinkling in the dark night, as if he were deliberately teasing her, wanting to see how she would react.

He Yuzhu's lips curled into a wicked smile, a smile like that of a cunning fox, his eyes filled with mockery, as if he were watching an extremely ridiculous farce.

He showed no sign of stopping, like a mischievous child discovering a new toy, his gaze roaming over Lin Wanting with unbridled abandon, as if trying to see right through her.

He tilted his head slightly, looking Lin Wanting up and down, the smile on his lips growing more pronounced, as if declaring that he had the game in the bag.

Seeing that her master's seemingly fierce threats had no effect on He Yuzhu, Lin Wanting felt a pang of anxiety.

Left with no other choice, she decided to change her strategy and resort to a desperate measure.

In an instant, her eyes reddened, like flower petals battered by frost, and she pleaded pitifully:

"Please don't do this, I beg you..."

As she spoke, her voice trembled, tinged with tears, and her pitiful appearance resembled a delicate flower swaying in the rain, evoking pity in anyone who saw her.

She unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, her body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment.

Hearing Lin Wanting's humble, almost pleading words, He Yuzhu finally chuckled, his laughter filled with the satisfaction of triumph.

Then, he slowly and contentedly removed his hand from Lin Wanting's body, as if he wanted to savor this "victory" a little longer.

He deliberately dragged out his movements, glancing at Lin Wanting every now and then, as if enjoying her embarrassment.

Seeing this, Lin Wanting breathed heavily with relief, her chest heaving, and her hands instinctively clamped her legs tightly together, as if this would shut out the embarrassment and unease she had just felt.

Recalling the nightmarish scene just now, she felt her face burning, and a wave of shyness and panic instantly overwhelmed her, leaving her feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She lowered her head slightly, her hair falling down as she tried to hide her flushed cheeks, her body still trembling slightly.

Although she and her senior brother Xu Changfeng had been childhood sweethearts, they had only ever kissed occasionally and had never had such intimate and deep contact as today.

The little squabbles I had with my senior brother in the past are nothing compared to what happened today.
